rp_st
01/03/2023, 4:56 PMDid you call the api?
y
yadedyash
01/03/2023, 4:57 PMas in like fetching the endpoint? no
yadedyash
01/03/2023, 4:57 PMsorry im self taught
yadedyash
01/03/2023, 4:58 PMI am very much teaching myself as i go
r
rp_st
01/03/2023, 4:58 PMI see. Not sure if this is the right place for this then. Sorry.
y
yadedyash
01/03/2023, 4:59 PMIs there any documentation you would recommend I read for this
r
rp_st
01/03/2023, 4:59 PMNot specifically. Our docs are quite extensive already.
y
yadedyash
01/03/2023, 5:00 PMGot it, when I call the get api in postman it gives me a message: unauthorized object
yadedyash
01/03/2023, 5:00 PMIf that helps at all
yadedyash
01/03/2023, 5:00 PMotherwise I do not know what exactly I am doing wrong
r
rp_st
01/03/2023, 5:00 PMYup. It means you need to first login.
y
yadedyash
01/03/2023, 5:00 PMStrange, since I am logged in.
yadedyash
01/03/2023, 5:01 PMlike i said earlier, if i follow the docs and use the getUserByEmail method everything works fine
yadedyash
01/03/2023, 5:01 PMthe issue for me is im not sure how to get user email from the session dynamically in the backend
r
rp_st
01/03/2023, 5:02 PMDid you call the login api via postman first?
y
yadedyash
01/03/2023, 5:03 PMI did. Whats strange is that when i run my environment I am very clearly logged in, and i can display the correct UserID in my frontend which I match with the userID in the dashboard, this is following the react docs
r
rp_st
01/03/2023, 5:04 PMConsider enabling backend debug logs and then calling the api from postman. It might give you a hint on what’s wrong
y
yadedyash
01/03/2023, 5:05 PMThanks, will try that. Enjoy the rest of your day. I had a call set up for 10:30 pm pacific tonight, shall i cancel that if this is not really the place for one man project questions?
r
rp_st
01/03/2023, 5:05 PMYes please 🙂
y
yadedyash
01/03/2023, 5:07 PMGot it. Thanks for your time, again I apologize if I wasted your time or this was not the appropriate forum, I am not new to development anymore but this is very much my first fully featured client project. Thanks again.
